--Snus Reviews--

From the perspective of a former Copenhagen Snuff user. -after 30yrs dipping.

Please feel free to add your comments and share your recommendations.

A short description & history of Swedish snus:

Snus: This is not chew or dip folks. Snus is unique in that it is steam-cured rather than fire-cured, is not fermented and contains no added sugar and thus considered by many to be a safer alternative to dipping or chewing tobaccos which contain higher TSNAs and are much more proven to cause cancers amongst other health problems. Snus in it’s current form whether portion or loose has been well and alive in Sweden for over 200 years and recent studies have proven the usage amongst Swedes of snus as opposed to cigarettes have led to a much lower average of all forms of cancers as opposed to “smoking” nations. Since real snus as described in this blog is regulated as a food substance in Sweden along with being steam-cured tobacco, it is intended and normal to swallow the drip and requires no spitting.

Knox Lös Snus


If you're on a budget and like Skruf brand, this may be the snus for you. Similar in flavor albeit a bit dumbed down due to the lower nicotine content, Knox lös has a course texture and kind of reminds me of my former American "Dip" Copenhagen in this way. Deep tobacco flavor with a hint of citrus and less salt than it's big sister, Skruf Stark lös. The pris holds together really well both hand-baked or with a tool and thus makes the perfect "loose" snus for a beginner. The flavor seems to really last and stand out at the 1hr mark and beyond. Good budget snus from Skruf AB

The nicotine content stands at (8mg per 1 gram). Produces a nice smooth and level delivery of vitamin N.
